Customer Reviews Hoka Clifton 8

They're okay. I'm not totally sure what I expected, but I do t find these much different than any other good athletic shoe.

This shoes is not that comfortable or soft! I am very disappointed in the 8's revision. The Clifton 6's were like clouds on my feet and made me knees SO happy with running, walking, and everything. The 6s made my running and walking life had been liberated from pain. The Clifton 7's were okay and only slightly different, but not as nice as the 6's. The Clifton 8 is not cushioned and feels like a lesser shoe. Hard, flat, not wrapping my foot nicely. It's just a disappointment, I do not recommend.

I work as an ICU nurse, 12 hour shifts 14k steps daily. I have worn cliftons since the OG neon pair were born. The 7s were my favorite to date. Covid made it impossible to find in my size after the 8s were released and I'm so sad. Ive given them a full month to get better and am going to toss them (don't feel food returning after being in covid environment). The sole is so stiff and cushioning isn't the same. I feel just plain uncomfortable by the end of the day. I am going to give the new Rincon 3s a try until I find a pair of 7s hidden somewhere ha! Please Hoka reconsider the 7s design!

Though it took about a week to get used to these, I find them very comfortable. Unfortunately they're falling apart after only two and a half months. The inside ankle cushion has developed a hole and the soles are peeling off both shoes already. For the price and all the great reviews I read about Hoka, I'm super disappointed and bummed that I have to buy a new pair of shoes already. For the record, I only wear these for my daily exercise (walking).

These shoes are fine. After all of the hype and for the money, I was expecting them to be the most amazing shoes I had ever worn. They are fine. Comfortable, but big-ish and they have started to wear down already after one month.

This is my first Hoka purchase. I am still trying to decide how I feel about them. I feel numbness in my toes on one foot after my runs. I'm hoping this is an adjustment period and this will eventually subside. I love the weight of them, and the color, but the fit is still up in the air.

I am a loyal Cliffton fan and have purchased numerous pairs of the 6's and 7's. The 8's are the first pair that I absolutely cannot stand (this applies to RUNNING ONLY, I am sure they're great for walking). Their attempt at making a comfortable upper has completely sacrificed structure and it is so hard to feel secure in these. No matter how I tie them, I do not feel stable in these on my runs. I bit my tongue for 200 miles to get my money's worth but will not be pushing it to ~400 Ish like I can with the Clifton 7's or Mach 4s. If you're a serious runner and looking for a new pair, buy the Clifton 7's or Mach 4's... way better combo of comfortability and structure/support around the ankle and in the upper.

If you love the 7 like I do, do not purchase these shoes. They are different than the seven and actually hurt my feet.
